Answer:

The weight of the box is 22.38 N.

Explanation:

The weight (W) of the mass is given by:

$W = mg$

Where:

m: is the mass of the box = 6.0 kg

$g_{m}$ : is the acceleration due to gravity of mars

Since the acceleration due to the gravity of mars is 0.38 times that on Earth we have:

$g_{m} = 0.38g_{E} = 0.38*9.81 m/s^{2} = 3.73 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the weight of the mass is:

$W = mg = 6.0 kg*3.73 m/s^{2} = 22.38 N$

Therefore, the weight of the box is 22.38 N.

I hope it helps you!

Professor Stefanovic is spinning a bucket of water by extending his arm and rotating his shoulder in class to show the effects o

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

a ) 2.368 rad/s

b) 3.617 rad/s

Explanation:

the minimum angular velocity that Prof. Stefanovic needs to spin the bucket for the water not to fall out can be determined by applying force equation in a circular path

i.e

$F_{inward } = F_G + F_T$ ------ equation (1)

where;

$F_{inward} = m *a_c$

$F_{inward} = m*r* \omega^2$

Also

$F_G = m*g$

$F_T = 0$ since; that is the initial minimum angular velocity to keep the water in the bucket

Now; we can rewrite our equation as :

$mr \omega^2= mg + 0\\\omega^2 = \frac{m*g}{m*r}\\\omega^2 = \frac{g}{r}\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r} \ \ } ------ equation \ \ \ {2}$

So; Given that:

The rope that is attached to the bucket is lm long and his arm is 75 cm long.

we have our radius r = 1 m + 75 cm

= ( 1 + 0.75 ) m

= 1.75 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Replacing our values into equation (2) ; we have:

$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{9.81}{1.75}}\\\omega = 2.368 \ rad/s$

b) if he detaches the rope and spins the bucket by holding it with his hand ; then the radius = 0.75 m

∴

$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{9.81}{0.75}}\\\omega = 3.617 \ rad/s$

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons

oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s. That's momentum. The 20,000 has units of Newtons. That's force. Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely. You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push. The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the impulse you give it. The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

T = 0.1701 second

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.

A student put her ear on one end of a long piece of lead. She asked her friend to

Ludmilka [50]

1) The length of the lead is 1700 m

2) The frequency of the wave is 400 Hz

Explanation:

The wave in this problem is a sound wave, which is produced by the vibrations of the particles of air. It is a type of longitudinal wave (which means that the vibrations occur back-and-forth along the direction of propagation of the wave).

The speed of a sound wave in air is approximately

v = 340 m/s

In this problem, the sound wave is heard after a time of

t = 5 s

after the shot. Therefore, the distance travelled by the wave in this time (and therefore, the length of the lead) is

$d=vt=(340)(5)=1700 m$

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles made by the wave in one second.

For the wave in this problem, we are told that the wave has 2000 whole wavelengths in 5 seconds: this means that the wave completes 2000 cycles in 5 seconds. Therefore, we can find the frequency by setting up the following proportion:

$\frac{2000}{5}=\frac{x}{1}$
